more than for a hog, while the shrink
age in dressing beef is ten to fifteen
per cent. greater than for hogs. A
full-grown four-year-old bullock,
weighing 1000 to 1900 pounds, dressed,
consumes seventy bushels OF corn IN
growing and fattening.
Hence, we see not only packing hou-
e for hogs growing up all over Ne
braska and Kansas, but the great
dressed beef houses of Chicago are
building packing houses at Kansas
City and Omaha. Chicago may, there
fore, have seen her day as the great
pork and beef packing centre OF the
West, as did Cincinnati twenty years
ago, when she was the Porkopolis OF
the country. In ten years more Kan
sas City will probably be the great
centre, as it's receipts Of hogs are stead
lily gaining upon those Of Chicago, and
have often equalled them during this
year. Chicago will then be only the
speculative or carrying centre forpack-
ers west Of there, for a time, as New
York once was for Cincinnati and
Chicago. Mr.. P. D. Armour himself
is reported to have admitted that if
they had not so much capital invested
in plant at Chicago, they would not
put another dollar into property there,
and would eventually go West.
"A comparison of the wheat crop of
the chief States east and west Of the
Mississippi for the same years shows
the same tendency. The crops OF the
five chief wheat States east of the Mis-
sissippi and north of the Ohio, namely,
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin, were in 1886, in round
figures, l6O, 600, 600, in 1885, Or the
short crop year, l05, 1000, 900, and in
1884, l57, 600, 900. The crops of the
six great wheat States west Of the
Mississippi, namely Missouri, Kansas,
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and Da-
kota, were, in 1886, rl60, 900, 600, in
1885, 1875, 900, 900 and in 1884, 1885,
800, 900 while the total crop of the
United States in 1886 was 427, 600, 900,
in 1885 357, 600, 900 and in 1884 512,-
$780, 900 bushels ; showing that in 1884
six States west of the Mississippi
raised about two-fifths of the whole
crop and five States east of it three
tenths Of the whole; in 1885 the
former raised about one-third and the
latter two-sevenths of the whole, and
in 1886 the trans Mississippi States
about one-third and the east Mississippi
States one-third. In other words, the
six trans Mississippi States raised me-
tenth more Of the whole cror in 1884
than the five States east of the Missis-
sippi. In 1885 they raised me-
twentieth more, and in 1886 each
raised the same proportion of the
whole crop, or one-third each show
ing a steady gain of the percentage of
the States east of the Mississippi over
those west for three years, as was the
case in corn. This tendency will be
still further aggravated by the opera
tions of the Interstate commerce law,
as against the West in favor of the
East on grain raising, and vice versa
on live stock.-N. Y. Bulletin. asas
